The really surprising thing to me on that Sears catalog is the break barrel air rifle.
My cousin in the 1950s had a Crosman pump up but I don’t think I ever saw one of those spring piston ones until maybe the 1970s.
I guess the Daisy’s are technically spring piston but not really the same thing.
Are you sure that picture is from the 50s? Look at the clothes and hairstyles. It looks like 60s or even the early 70s to me.
People lost their minds years ago. That’s the problem.
